Thoughts on this listing??? As a Tigers fan I've never seen this one before or style, I'm leaning towards fake.

I saw that when it came up. Looks fake to me too. A few things caught my eye:
1. If you look at the seam where the Black and Gold sections join, the stitching doesn't look right to me. Here's the stitching from an early 2 part Tigers pennant sold by Hunt vs this one on Ebay. 2. The material doesn't look right 3. I'll defer to others with more knowledge, but I believe "2-part" pennants were from the early 1900's up to about the late 1910s. I don't know that they were being used in the 1930s. Plus the lettering looks off. The D in Detroit isn't right. That D was used in the Tigers logo in 1917....not 1935.

And wasn't this same pennant already discussed at length, either in this thread or another? We clearly deemed it to be a Franken-pennant. I believe that someone took an early Princeton Pennant and melded it with a Detroit City Souvenir Pennant. Best to stay away from this one.

It's a cool looking pennant and if fake it a well done fake. But the stitching gives it away IMO. Here's are some similar Princeton graphics...not that pennant makers didn't re-use graphics.

Speaking of Princeton pennants...I can't resist picking them up, especially the early ones. There is absolutely zero demand and they are ridiculously cheap (as are most Ivy League). As Mike Wolfe would say..."You're making me buy it".
But this one...I'd probably pass on this one. What is that a werewolf? It looks like something you'd see on an early 70s blacklight poster. Too trippy for me.

Last post for the the night...
Researching pennants I came across this picture. I recognize the Harvard football pennant on the wall but can't make out the Yale. The Chicago pillow appears to be football as well, but I'm seeing baseball in the Yale pennant. A sliding runner maybe? Anyone recognize it? PS...Indianapolis 500 there as well?

The Old English letter script is completely non-Repco, and Repco went out of business in 1935-36. Also, the apostrophe is backwards....  This was/is the genuine Repco two-piece pennant they were trying for....

That’s a pretty sweet banner. I’ve never seen that one or one that early like it.

It came with a thick dowel and a rope to hang, but the dowel was broken. Off to Michaels for a replacement. I’ll find room for it. On this note … what other “banners” do you guys have? It seems to be that the Tigers, Dodgers, and Reds have a few of these so I’m figuring Mark S. and Bumpus Jones have pics to share? Last edited by thetahat; 05-22-2025 at 07:47 AM.
